Chapter 69 - Use my credit card (2)
Inside the bathroom, Ji Qingqing was taking a bath. Looking at the bubble-filled bathtub, she continued to hear her earlier presumptuous words echoing in her mind as if it was being played on a high quality stereo. She wanted to think her ears were red from bathing and not embarrassment. Sighing, she sunk deeper into the bathtub.
So embarrassing. She should just drown herself.
But, was it really her fault? It was Lu Lixing's fault for being unclear and causing her to misunderstand him.
Was that intentional? Had he intentionally tried to embarrass her?
Otherwise, why would he say such misleading words? Lu Lixing was probably giving her a hard time and trying to make her a laughingstock!
But, she couldn't let Lu Lixing take the matter of prayer beads too lightly.
Grandpa had treated her pretty well. As his granddaughter-in-law, she should have given him a gift by now.
And, she and Lu Lixing were husband and wife. He had already paid for the deposit. If she paid for the remaining balance, it could be considered a joint gift. It would be suitable for them to give grandpa a gift together.
As an elderly person, grandpa prayed to Buddha for peace of mind. Prayer beads would be a suitable gift.
En, that's what she would do!
Ji Qingqing made up her mind that she wouldn't use Lu Lixing's credit card tomorrow. Even if the prayer beads cost several hundred thousands of yuan, she could still afford it!
After taking a bubble bath for half an hour, Ji Qingqing felt a bit sleepy. She languidly walked out of the bathroom.
"I texted you the address. Go pick it up tomorrow and come home before dinnertime."
"Okay."
Face to face, they stared at each other.
It was getting late, and it was time to sleep.
The hands on the wall clock turned to 10 o'clock. In the room, they could only hear the clicking sound of the second hand moving on the clock.
The atmosphere gradually became awkward. In unison, the two people looked away from each other and looked at the 1.8 meter wide bed.
After being caught by Grandpa Lu and Aunty Pei earlier this morning, they were once again faced with the same awkward problem: sharing a bed.
Ji Qingqing was filled with thoughts of how she had been all over Lu Lixing when she woke up this morning.
Lu Lixing's mind was filled with thoughts of how Ji Qingqing kept rolling over to his side of the bed last night.
The stalemate came to an end when Ji Qingqing yawned.
"Same rules as before. You'll keep to the left side and I'll keep to the right. Neither person can cross the middle of the bed.
Lu Lixing looked at her as if she was overestimating her abilities. "Do you think that will stop you?"
"... Don't worry. I've always been a well-behaved sleeper. Last night was an exception." After saying this, she got into bed and looked at Lu Lixing, who was still standing in the same place. She patted the nearby pillow and said, "Come to bed."
Lu Lixing sighed. Accepting his fate, he got into his bed to sleep.
One person was on the left and the other person was on the right. There was enough space for two people to lie down between Ji Qingqing and Lu Lixing on the bed.
However, the distance between them gradually decreased.
When the time turned to 12 o'clock on the wall clock, Lu Lixing was lying in bed with his eyes open and staring at the ceiling.
As expected, the person lying near him had fallen asleep within five minutes. At the ten minute mark, she started rolling back and forth. Another ten minutes later, she was wrapped around him like an octopus.
Lu Lixing impassively pushed her off. Vexed, he questioned why he was wasting his precious free time. Anything would be a better alternative than laying here.
Lu Lixing felt his temples throbbing. Before Ji Qingqing could come back again, he closed his eyes and tried his best to ignore her presence.
Ji Qingqing turned over and left her leg resting on him.
"..."
Lu Lixing silently thought a swear word.
A very dirty swear word.
